When sunlight is spread equally in an area.
Oblique.
Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)
Oblique is defined as 'slanting or inclined in direction, neither parallel nor perpendicular'. Oblique rays, such as those that come from the sun during winter, tend to bounce away more than they are absorbed, due to being shot at a wide angle.
The December solstice marks the official beginning of winter. The tangent rays of the sun hit the arctic circle.
They contain more solar energy!
It is south of the Arctic circle.
